Bearer token — Bearer followed by your MyMemory API key, for example: Bearer sm_your_api_key_here

EVERSTASH_API_KEYrequiredsecretEnvironment variable
Your MyMemory API key (starts with sm_). Create one from the API key card on your dashboard at https://mymemory.dev/dashboard.
AuthorizationrequiredsecretHTTP header

Pass secrets through your shell environment rather than committing them into a config file.

What tools does MyMemory expose?

This server runs as a local package. We only query remote servers for their tool list — asking this one would mean executing it, so its tools are listed in the documentation below.

What the code can do

Read from the published package source — never executed. Parsed 2 of 2 source files.

This server can run other programs on your machine, read and write files and make network requests.

How it was published

No provenance attestation — there is nothing linking this published artifact to a specific source commit.
1 npm maintainer — a single point of compromise · last published by mymemory.

Maintainer of this package and think something here is wrong? Tell us and we'll correct it.

Before you install

Signals gathered from the source repo and package registry — not a safety verdict.

What it can reach

Runs code on your machine — Executes as a local process with your user's permissions, including filesystem access.
Downloads at launch — The package is fetched from its registry each run unless you pin a version.

No source repository — This registry entry does not link to a public repo, so its code cannot be reviewed before you install it.
